[Verse 1] Early evening comes too soon
And darkness creeps in with the fading light
You ask yourself when this began to start
And now you’re all alone and fighting with the night

[Bridge] But don’t you ever give up
Don’t you ever give in
You’ve to get right back into it all
Into it all…

[Chorus] It’s the heart of matter
It’s the heart, yeah-ee yeah-ah, of matter
Climb back down your broken ladder

[Verse 2] And now you’re out there
You’re out there on your own
It sometimes feels as if it’s tearing you apart inside
But if you look into yourself
You’ll find an open book
Each one needs a place, a place to mend a broken heart

[Bridge] But don’t you ever give up
Don’t you ever give in
You’ve to get right back into it all
Into it all…

[Chorus] It’s the heart of matter
It’s the heart, yeah-ee yeah-ah, of matter
Climb back down your broken ladder

[Outro] Won’t you, climb back down your broken ladder
Climb back down your broken ladder
It’s the heart, of the matter
The heart of matter
The heart of matter
Yeah-ee yeah-ah
